Subversion could fall back to using junctions if the link target is a directory or hardlinks if it is a file. Junctions don't support links to things like network shares, though, but it's better than nothing and will surely cover 99% of the use cases. Hardlinks have the same caveat of course and suffer form recreation of files, like when a file gets reverted the former created hardlink to it will get invalid. But in theory as Subversion should normally be the on doing the revert it could beforehand get all hardlinks to the file and recreate those after the revert. Getting all hardlinks to a file is fast operation since Vista. Of course it sucks that symlinks are restricted on Windows, opposed to junctions and hardlinks, especially that Windows itself doesn't use symlinks that much at all, but relies heavily on hard links instead.
